Snow Buddies Program

Snow Buddies is a partnership between the City and County of Denver and Volunteers of America. The Snow Buddies program connects healthy volunteers with anyone 60+ in the metro area who cannot shovel their own walk. Volunteers are paired with seniors within a 2 mile radius of one another.

WHY VOLUNTEER

The Snow Buddy program was initiated to keep seniors safe from falls on snow or ice during the winter. The program also keeps seniors from accruing city fines for not being able to shovel their snow from the sidewalks. When you sign up to be a Denver Snow Buddy, you are strengthening our community, improving someone else’s life and transforming your own life through service.

How do I volunteer to become a Snow Buddy? Volunteers fill out an application and undergo a background check before being matched with a senior. Once the match is made, the expectation is that the volunteer will show up at their buddy’s home after two or more inches of snow has fallen and clear their walkways.
